Being able to use TikTok on your phone doesn't make you tach savvy. They don't know anything about how it all works. It's a false dichotomy.

They've grown up on apps that have simple interfaces and limited options. Give them the freedom and power of a workstation and you'll find they never learned to learn real software.
